Powder South Heliski Guides

Heli skiing in Chile with Powder South Heli Ski Guides is fabulous; a completely inimitable powder skiing and snowboard experience. With high altitude, the quality of the virgin powder is amazing and the runs are delightfully thigh-burningly long. Another major highlight is the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Andes, which each run surrounded by breathtaking 6,700 metre (22,000-foot) peaks. Then there are the luxury mountain lodges and gourmet cuisine, and an opportunity to soak up some Chilean hospitality.

Powder South Chile heli skiing is a delightfully exclusive experience, ideal for those that are rightfully complete powder snobs and powder-holics.

Where is Powder South Heliski Guides Located?

The Powder South Chile lodges (Altiplanico and El Ingenio) are based in the Maipo Valley, one of the key Chilean wine regions, not far from Santiago in Chile. The Santiago Benitez International Airport is easily accessible with lots of flight options from United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Powder South has access to thousands of hectares of unlimited terrain in the Chilean Central Andes, primarily between latitudes 32 degrees and 35 degrees South. The terrain includes the Aconcagua, Juncal, and Rio Colorado Valleys to the North; the Olivares, Parraguirre, and Tupungato Valleys located centrally, and the Aparejo, Marmolejo, Pangal, Rengo to Tinguiririca Valleys to the South.

The area also has the benefit of a maritime snowpack, which is light and dry due to the high altitude, synonymous with blower powder at its best. Snow accumulation comes from the Pacific Ocean, a mere 100 miles (160 km) west of the Andes.

Flying conditions are best during winter due to an almost zero thermal reduction, which keeps the cumulus clouds away and leads to an abundance of bluebird days.
